I live. Meep as well, though I don't know where he's been hied off ta. When I find out I might summon yer help and all ta get him back from her that hid him. Don't know why she's got him but I intend ta get him back.

Hain't got much in th' way o' news or anything o' th' like. Had me hands tied tryin' ta figure out what's goin' on. Can't say as I've had much luck wi' that, but your Dog'll keep tryin' but soon enough ye might hae to play a bigger role than ye accept.

What I got fer ye is this. If I be right, and I normally am, there'll be some unexpected company in a few days on account on whatever it is she's doin'.

Other than that, since the 'better' half o' th' world likes ta bury their head in th' sand, th' race is goin' on next month as usual. We'll see what comes of that but it won't be good by any account. However if ye want ta keep yer hand in I'd at least spectate.

I'll answer some questions now if I can. Can't expect I'll do much and some I won't answer so don't press or I'll curse ye wi' boils or such like.
